so yea. i was looking through some of my videos and noticed in only this one shot of me, no other videos of me have this, but this 'afterbang ridaway?'

i dont care, i dont think its cool or gay. but with all this talk of the so called 'afterbang' these days just wondering if you guys call this afterbang or no bang aha. and yea i probably didnt replay that clip long enough eh guys haha.

the retarded thing about this whole "afterbang" argument is that people are acting like its a new invention, as if people havent ridden away from tricks looking good for years and years. theres no definition for afterbang and really its sort of a stupid word (though i thought it had grown to be used in a sarcastic way) . looking good landing/afterlanding is just part of skiing

who cares? why do you need to have other people judge your style whether is worthy or the title of afterbang or not? you have good style, but why dont you claim your own style and not call it afterbang

exactly. this is ridiculous. afterbang is dope and obviously people would rather see someone stomp their landing and ride away clean than land a little sketchy and struggle to ride away.

The whole afterabang thing is so stupid, i dont know why every one is hatin on t w for being steezy after landing. i think it shows way more skill to be able to land blanced and still than be floppin around. so "afterbang" haters shut up its just really good people being good.

no what the fuck everyone! im not concerned as whether you guys think this is cool or not! im not try to see if it qualifies as afterbang making it seem like i would think the trick is more legit or not!

im more wondering about what you guys define as afterbang damnit. show me a vid. a specific time in a vid. im not trying to claim a trick bigger than it is (its a tiny ass fuckin 10ft pvc backyard rail) JEEZ ns.

why did i even post this.

god damn!

holy shit man READ. as i CLEARLY stated, i was just looking through vids of me and noticed this clip where i ride out different then everything else i have done. and it was odd to me.

im not a fucking retard who the hell would try to do a certain fucking ride away and work on that rather than stomping a new trick.

NS YOU NEED TO READ BEFORE YOU POST please.

First 3 tricks, I think Is what most people would consider afterbang. The seccond one espessically over the tire (notice how he slams his legs/skis down and lands basically standing). That is what most people consider afterbang (overly stomped landings). I for one, could care less.

it wasn't really afterbang, you just carried your momentum through the landing. afterbang wouldve been where you straightened out ur back real hard once you landed and did that. it didnt look bad though
